Computer is crashing all the time

[padingle]

My computer keeps on crashing whenever i play video. I think it is
something to do with the ram.

I can play one video without it crashing, but half wayu through the
next one it will just crash. Its like the memory is just filling up
like a jug and is forgetting to empty itself. Does anyone know how i
can fix this?

I bought some new ram (kingston 2x1GB) and that doesn't solve the
problem, it only appears to mak the problem less frequent.

You may be running into a heat related problem if different memory did not
change the symptoms.

Some video cards run quite a bit hotter when trying to process a real time
video stream. Check to see if your video card has it's own fan and if so
it's condition. As a test you could open the case and aim an external fan
at the computer/video card and see if the problem still occurs with the
increased air flow.
